[21:25] <larstr> I just installed ubuntu studio 11.10 on Lenovo T520 and I get no sound. none at all. no system sounds. no sound through jack. Also tried attaching a usb sound card, but still no sound.
[21:25] <larstr> If I use sound recorder, the meter can "hear" me.

[22:13] <becky_> I'm running ubuntu studio 11.10 x86-64
[22:29] <arges> PersonWithAIssue, has this worked before? which device are you using?
[22:29] <arges> PersonWithAIssue, are you sure the device is powered on and plugged in : )
[22:34] <PersonWithAIssue> yes
[22:34] <PersonWithAIssue> I get sound from it
[22:35] <PersonWithAIssue> I just installed UB11.10, clean install
[22:35] <PersonWithAIssue> ....
[22:35] <arges> PersonWithAIssue, was it working in a previous version?
[22:36] <PersonWithAIssue> I never tried a previous version
[22:36] <PersonWithAIssue> I just built this system
[22:36] <arges> ok. what kind of sound card is it?
[22:37] <arges> PersonWithAIssue, type " lspci | grep -i Audio "   into a terminal and paste the output
[22:37] <PersonWithAIssue> Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD 24-bit 96KHz USB Interface Sound Card
[22:38] <arges> ok
[22:38] <PersonWithAIssue> btw
[22:39] <PersonWithAIssue> I don't get any output when I enter the line you gave me in the terminal
[22:39] <PersonWithAIssue> :-/
[22:39] <PersonWithAIssue> thank you for helping :-)
[22:39] <arges> that's fine. i think "lspci | grep -i sound" might work better than
[22:40] <arges> depends on what the device calls itsself
[22:41] <arges> Do the ALSA drivers work? Can you just play audio from the device without starting up jack?
[22:41] <PersonWithAIssue> yes... the system uses pulseaudio by default....
[22:41] <PersonWithAIssue> is that an issue?
[22:42] <PersonWithAIssue> I don't know the difference
[22:42] <arges> no. i suspect the jack configuration might be off... how are you starting the jack server?
[22:42] <PersonWithAIssue> qjackctl
[22:43] <PersonWithAIssue> I don't know any better
[22:43] <arges> ok cool. might need to play with the settings a bit to get it work
[22:43] <PersonWithAIssue> cool :-)
[22:44] <arges> PersonWithAIssue, good luck
[22:44] <PersonWithAIssue> eek
[22:44] <PersonWithAIssue> any suggestions?
[22:54] <larstr> I figured out. Used this solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861477&highlight=banshee
[22:57] <PersonWithAIssue> okay, I found what might be part of my issue
[22:58] <PersonWithAIssue> So.... when I do lspci | grep -i sound
[22:58] <PersonWithAIssue> or anything to do with lspci
[22:58] <PersonWithAIssue> I can't find the sound card
[22:59] <PersonWithAIssue> and the error message JACK is giving me seems to say that it can't find the card either
[23:00] <PersonWithAIssue> but I hear the card and can configure it in pulseaudio
